I am running Mandriva Spring 2009, on a Gnome desktop.
I first installed axiom from the Mandriva rpm installer.
At the console, absolutely nothing happened when I typed axiom. It simply returned to my directory.

I then downloaded and installed the binary file "redhat9" and followed all the instructions.
This time an error message of a missing shared library is generated.
The library referred to is:
libreadline.so.4

I have checked, and note that I have libreadline.so.6

I presume some line in the code has to change.
How do I do this, so there is a correct reference to libreadline version 6?
